Eternal Mametchi Fan

I was boredly looking at a pamphlet that came with my Melodytchi DVD and there was an advertisement for an anime movie that looked cute called グスコーブドリの伝記 a.k.a Guskō Budori no Denki, or The Life of Guskō Budori.

Apparently it's based on a novel from the early 1900s and there was a previous movie adaptation for it. But this one is from 2012 and the characters are anthropomorphic cats. But I'm confused... apparently in the original novel and first movie adaptation, the characters were meant to be human and they were just turned into cats in the 2012 version? I'm terrible at reading Japanese so I might be wrong. I also read the plot and it sounds extremely boring but ugh the characters are so cute and I think I want to hug the main cat person.

So has anyone else heard about/seen this movie, and could you please tell me more about it? Would you recommend it, or is it just as boring as it sounds? ;o And last of all, is there any place I can watch it online? c:
